It grows that way?
It bends toward the sun?


The color of the peel is used as an indicator of ripening progression. A scale of 1-7 is generally accepted: 1 is hard green, 2 is light green, 3 is more green than yellow, 4 is turning 50% green and 50% yellow, 5 is yellow with green tips, 6 is fully yellow, 7 is flecking and into brown.

Most ripeners take fruit out of the ripening rooms and ship to retailers when at color stage 3.5.



Bananas come in different stages of ripeness. Green bananas are very firm, but as they ripen the green color turns yellow.

As bananas ripen, the starch in the fruit turns to sugar. Therefore, the riper the banana the sweeter it will taste.

Green tipped bananas are best for cooking, such as in a side dish. Full yellow bananas are excellent for eating out of hand or adding to cereal or salads. And brown-specked bananas are best for baking in breads and cookies.

Refrigeration slows down the ripening process. Conversely, warmer temperatures speed up the ripening of bananas.

Bananas can be stored in the refrigerator until reaching the desired ripeness. Although the skin may turn dark, the fruit inside will be fresh and ripe.

Bananas can be frozen once the banana is peeled and stored in a freezer bag. A touch of fresh lemon juice may help to reduce browning.

If you want to ripen a banana quickly, put it in a brown paper bag with an apple or tomato overnight (out of direct sunlight). The two will work together to speed the ripening of each other.

Dropping or squeezing bananas can cause bruising.

I don't think there's a real reason. I have banana trees in my backyard and they're shaped like that from the beginning. Even as tiny little buds, they've got that bend.

You were excited by thoughts of her, tripped over the flowers and candy you'd bought her for no reason other than that she means the world to you and always will, and it done got bent. This is what you tell your wife.
